Let Union Be in All Our Hearts



Come on, lads, and let's be jolly

Drive away all melancholy,

For, to grieve it would be folly,

While we are together.



cho:Let union be in all our hearts,

Let all our hearts be joined as one.

We'll end the day as we begun,

We'll end it all in pleasure.



Right-folla-rolla-rye, too-ra-lie-doe (3x)

While we are together.



Old King Solomon, in all his glory,

Told each wife a different story,

Of the things that we delight in,

While we are together.

cho:



Eating and drinking are quite charming,

(or: courting and drinking, if you prefer)

Smoking and piping there's no harm in.

(or: piping and dancing)

These are things we take delight in,

While we are together.



cho:



Grab the bottle as it passes,

Do not fail to fill your glasses.

(or: Come on, lads, and raise your glasses

Grab the bottle as it passes)

Water drinkers are dull asses,

While we are together.



cho:

Cease your quarreling and fighting,

Evil thinking and backbiting.

All these things take no delight in,

While we are together.



cho:



given by Maddy De Leon,

and Mark Gilston, who learned it from Jim Mageean.

It was originally a grange song and the original

chorus was:

Let union be in all our farms,

Let all our farms be joined as one.
